Illumina Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Being able to balance work and private life

Really good health insurance package.

High cash base, worthless RSU & ESPP given decline in stock price

The Variable Compensation Plan and the annual $500 lifestyle allowance bonus.

Good salary, reasonable bonus, and great stock incentives.

The early RSU and spot bonuses that are given out

Review from Engineering Dept

Again, best benefits package I've ever had access to. I've worked at non-profits and fortune 500's!

flexible time off, wellness programs, culture of care

Equity and transparency across company

Review from Engineering Dept

Equity has done well, good benefits.

Review from Engineering Dept

We are paid above industry standard and well informed about how to move up.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Base salary is Fair and best in San Diego

Review from Marketing Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

They do not show exactly how to get a promotion which would increase your pay faster than standard pay increase increases each year. The raises every year tend to be 2 to 3% which is below market.

I'm currently working as a contractor so I don't think my benefits are altogether that great.

A salary that can compete with similar jobs in the area

my compensation is well below the local average
